A Mad Swordsman Returns – Chapter 337

The Surface was absolute chaos.
Geomson’s Oath-takers and War Covenant soldiers clashed in a dizzying melee, while Mage Soldiers and Colossal Warriors weaved between them, and Oath-takers engaged in fierce combat.
Among them all, Sung Ha-yan stood out most distinctly.

【Ocean Tide Sword Wave】.

Countless sword auras erupted from Sung Ha-yan as their epicenter.
She controlled the massive sword auras that undulated like a tidal wave, stamped the ground beneath her feet, and charged toward the Geomson’s Oath-takers blocking her path.
They gritted their teeth and unleashed their own sword auras.

Craaaaaash!

“Ughhhh…!”

Two types of sword auras collided head-on.
The massive tidal wave froze in an instant.
That moment—Sung Ha-yan seized it, channeling her mana once more.
Tremendous mana surged from her being.
The mana transformed into another tidal wave that crashed down upon her enemies.

“Kyaaaaaaah!”
“Ugh, gaaahhh…!”

The balance shattered in an instant.
The successive 【Ocean Tide Sword Waves】 engulfed the Geomson’s Oath-takers.
Their formation crumbled, and Baek Min-jun seized the opening without hesitation.

“【Battle Command】, advance!”

[Baek Min-jun has issued an advance order to allied forces!]
[Allied attack power, defense, and speed increase by +50%. Damage taken by advancing allies decreases by 30%!]

The buffed allies surged forward at tremendous speed.
While Han Yu-sung grew impossibly in a short span, Baek Min-jun and the other War Covenant Members achieved remarkable growth as well.
Their unique ability, 【Battle Command】, had been strengthened to such a degree.
And the same applied to the other Oath-takers.

Shiiiiing! Boom!

Successive flashes of light tore across the vast Battlefield.
The source of those flashes was Chu Gyu-il. Not that he’d wanted it, but he’d achieved rapid growth through harsh trials of late.
His possessions—’Zephyros’s Shackle’ and ‘Radiant Martial Arts’—had grown as well.
And there was one more thing.

Kuuuuung!

[Han Yu-sung has activated 【Dominion】. The speed of all nearby enemies is reduced by up to 40%!]

Han Yu-sung’s support was there too.
Thanks to the effect of his item ‘Sovereign’s Crown’, the enemies’ speed had temporarily plummeted dramatically.
This was the perfect moment for Chu Gyu-il to shine.

“Damn it, you bastards… Why am I even doing this?”

The problem was that this wasn’t what he wanted.
Regardless.

‘The battle situation isn’t bad.’

That was Baek Min-jun’s assessment.
Ludveck, who led the enemies, was being handled by Kaldrex and other monsters, and the situation on the Ground was fairly balanced.
But that wasn’t what mattered.

“What remains is… who wins in that battle.”

Baek Min-jun looked up at the sky.
Sword energy and flame clashing endlessly. The Sanctuary crumbling from the aftermath.
A battle between two transcendents—something he wouldn’t dare intervene in.
The outcome of this war would depend entirely on who emerged victorious from that clash.
There was no way for Oath-takers to win without their Lord.
And the Oath-takers had no way to aid their Lord. Stepping into such a transcendent battle would only mean a meaningless death.

Kuuung! Fwaaaaaack!

“…”

There was only one exception among all the players.
Han Yu-sung.
He was engaging Geomson in battle while simultaneously unleashing both formidable demonic energy and blood vitality.
Of course, he wasn’t fighting alone.
He was fighting alongside the Lord of War to aid her.
And yet.

‘This shouldn’t be possible.’

Fighting an enemy transcendent alongside the Lord of War?
There was no way a player could do such a thing. The mere possibility of it meant he had transcended the very limits of what a player could achieve.
Baek Min-jun swallowed hard.

“Oppa, what do you think will happen? We can win this, right…?”
“I’m not sure.”

Lee Ye-eun approached his side and asked carefully.
To be honest, it didn’t look promising. The Lord of War and Han Yu-sung were cooperating, unleashing a relentless barrage of attacks against Geomson.
Yet Geomson was blocking their assaults far too easily.
Meanwhile, each of his counterattacks was lethal.

Kwaaaaaang!

An invisible blade shot forth.
With a single slash, the sky split open. Countless swords began pouring down like rain, and in that same instant, Geomson’s form vanished.
Kakasha swallowed hard and ignited his flame transformation.

Kwaddddduk!

[Ugh…!]

Geomson closed the distance to Kakasha in an instant.
With each step he took, a sword aura formed of pure will came flying at Kakasha’s throat.
Its size was enough to cleave the world in half.
What was even more terrifying was that it didn’t end with just one.
Every time Geomson took a step, a colossal sword aura was unleashed.

‘Can we even win this?’

It was a question that naturally arose.
The others felt the same.
How could they fight against a transcendent of a different caliber, and how could they achieve victory?
But it was already too late to retreat.

“We have no choice but to trust. Let’s go!”

Just as we had done until now, we could only believe we would win.
The War Covenant Members kicked off the ground and charged forward.
As they fought with that inescapable anxiety lingering in a corner of their hearts.
Kakasha too acknowledged the disadvantage of the situation.

Splash! Roooaaarrr!

The sound of waves crashing echoed.
At the same moment, the void split open, and a tsunami of blade energy that seemed capable of engulfing the entire world came crashing down.
Added to that was the sword aura that erupted with every step Geomson took.

Roooaaang!

[Hmm….]

At least there was one saving grace—Kakasha was not fighting alone.
Han Yu-sung, sensing an opening, closed the distance to Geomson and launched a surprise attack with Shattered Heaven and Blood Heaven Sword Annihilation.
Of course, he could not inflict any meaningful damage.
But he was able to momentarily break Geomson’s stance.

[Haaaah!]

Kakasha did not miss the opening Han Yu-sung had created.
The War Flame that split the heavens. Followed by an overwhelming torrent of sword aura that burned with oppressive magnitude, it shot toward Geomson and.
Consumed him entirely.
But both Han Yu-sung and Kakasha knew.

[Hard to believe this is a fallen Lord. However….]

Wind came rushing in.
A wind composed of formless sword aura. That wind split the conflagration that engulfed Geomson and crashed down upon Kakasha and Han Yu-sung.
Blades tore through their bodies in shreds.

[This alone is insufficient.]
[Grraaahhh!]

Geomson kicked off the ground.
His relentless onslaught drove Kakasha and Han Yu-sung back with overwhelming force.
From the wounds covering Kakasha’s entire body, fear-flame bled like crimson rain.

‘Your Majesty, I despise admitting this, but…’

She gritted her teeth and sent a message to Han Yu-sung.

‘I alone cannot break that monster. However, I can create a single opening for you. So…’

Han Yu-sung nodded upon receiving her message.
He understood what Kakasha was aiming for.
In that instant, countless sword auras poured down from the heavens, engulfing Han Yu-sung.
She rushed to shield him, but—

Boom!

She was too late.
Han Yu-sung summoned his power belatedly, yet it proved insufficient to block the blow.
Unable to withstand the impact, Han Yu-sung plummeted.
The phantom blade that appeared anew pursued him relentlessly.

Whoosh!

The descending blade pierced through Han Yu-sung.
Then it surrounded him in a cage-like formation, ensuring he could not move an inch from this position.
Without hesitation, Geomson advanced toward Kakasha.

‘With that nuisance eliminated, there’s no need to drag this battle out.’

Having sent Han Yu-sung plummeting, Geomson overwhelmed Kakasha with crushing force.
Yet hidden within his heart lingered a trace of impatience.

‘Those gauntlets… they irritate me.’

It was because of the 【Divine Slayer】 that Han Yu-sung wore.
I couldn’t determine exactly what kind of item it was. But that item contained a power that was antithetical to transcendents like myself.
Of course, it wasn’t powerful enough to overwhelm Geomson.

‘It could create an unforeseen variable.’

Geomson’s assessment was extraordinarily precise.
The 【Divine Slayer】 possessed an effect called ‘Divine Slaying.’ When the absorbed authority reached its maximum, it could deliver a fatal blow.
He had instinctively pierced through the danger of the Divine Slayer.
That’s why he first rendered Han Yu-sung incapable of combat.
One task remained.

[Ugh, aaahhhhh!]

Eliminating the Lord before him.
Han Yu-sung was certainly a dangerous opponent, but woefully insufficient to face Geomson.
Without the Lord’s support, he would fall helplessly in defeat.
There was no rush to kill him after disposing of the Lord of War.
Geomson’s judgment was absolutely sound.

Screech! Kwaaahhh!

Endless sword strikes engulfed Kakasha.
The armor adorned with countless victories shattered, and from the deeply carved flesh, divine fire flowed like blood.
The ‘Flames of War’ she wielded suffered the same fate.

[Even if you had recovered your full power, you couldn’t have faced me. Do you truly believe you can face me now?]
[Kugh…!]

Unable to withstand the relentless assault, the Flames of War began to shatter.
Geomson stepped forward toward Kakasha once more.
An enormous sword aura materialized in an instant and descended upon her.

Crack! Kaaaaaang!

The Flames of War completely disintegrated under the impact.
Kakasha’s movements froze momentarily, and Geomson seized the opening without hesitation. His form flowed like a wave, reaching her.
And then.

Screech!

An intangible blade severed Kakasha’s arm.
The flames of war that had been gripped in that hand plummeted uselessly.
Kakasha hastily ignited her sword transformation and widened the distance from Geomson.
But Geomson had no intention of letting her escape.

[Do you truly believe you can flee from me?]

The power emanating from divinity.
The authority of a transcendent being engulfed the surrounding area.
Colossal blades erupted endlessly from sky and ground alike, moving in accordance with Geomson’s gestures.
Soon they were released, transforming into sword aura that consumed the world.

[This place shall become your tomb.]

The overwhelming sword aura Geomson unleashed severed everything.
Those on the ground, the inferno Kakasha had conjured, and Kakasha herself.
The outcome was clear. All would fall before my power.
The fallen Lord was needless to mention, and Han Yu-sung would be no different.

‘I shall set everything right.’

This would become an opportunity for me.
A chance to reclaim the lost fragments and gather the ‘Legacy’ anew.
And an opportunity to awaken the ‘essence’ I had long wandered seeking.
Kakasha’s screams, caught within the sword aura, filled the Battlefield.
Geomson raised his blade to finish his enemy decisively.

[….]

But he could not.
Someone was approaching him.
Geomson instinctively turned his head.
His eyes widened in disbelief.

[What…?]

There was no other choice.
Beyond that veil of blades that consumed the world.
Han Yu-sung was advancing, parting the swords that blocked his path.

【Absolute Darkness】.

Demonic energy, condensed to its absolute limit, coiled around Han Yu-sung’s body.
A familiar technique.
Geomson was startled, but only for a moment. He had seen this technique before, so countering it was not particularly difficult.
Especially not when it was degraded demonic energy, so far removed from the true essence of such power.
Geomson gripped his sword.

‘One chance. That is all I need.’

Han Yu-sung felt an intense killing intent.
It radiated from Geomson.
He was attempting to end Han Yu-sung completely with a single strike.
With the power he possessed, it was certainly possible.
But it did not matter.

A sharp whistle tore through the air.

I had no intention of letting this opportunity slip away.
Different energies began to surge forth from Han Yu-sung.
A radiant white and an utterly dark black energy.
Primordial Harmony.
